Le giuste operazioni

2019

The relationship between abstract art and architecture is briefly commented as against the research work of Lorenzo Degli Esposti's book Operazioni in arte ed in architettura. especially the conceptual work of Sol LeWitt, and Smythson is focused commenting upon its use in architectural design and namely in compositional methods.

Imprecise probability assessments and the Square of Opposition

There is a long history of investigations on the square of opposition spanning over two millenia. A square of opposition represents logical relations among basic sentence types in a diagrammatic way. The basic sentence types, traditionally denoted by A (universal affirmative: ''Every S is P''), E (universal negative: ''No S is P''), I (particular affirmative: ''Some S are P''), and O (particular negative: ''Some S are not P''), constitute the corners of the square, and the logical relations--contradiction, contrarity, subalternation, and sub-contrarity--form the diagonals and the sides of the square. We investigate the square of opposition from a probabilistic point of view. To manage impre…

Information Transfer in Linear Multivariate Processes Assessed through Penalized Regression Techniques: Validation and Application to Physiological N…

2020

The framework of information dynamics allows the dissection of the information processed in a network of multiple interacting dynamical systems into meaningful elements of computation that quantify the information generated in a target system, stored in it, transferred to it from one or more source systems, and modified in a synergistic or redundant way. The concepts of information transfer and modification have been recently formulated in the context of linear parametric modeling of vector stochastic processes, linking them to the notion of Granger causality and providing efficient tools for their computation based on the state&ndash

Qu'est-ce qu'un muséographe ?

2006

National audience; L'article vise à déterminer les caractéristiques du métier de muséographe, notamment de montrer en quoi il se distingue du métier de scénographe, de chercheur, ou du conservateur. Les incidences sont importantes tant sur le plan théorique sur les définitions des professions, que sur le plan pratique pour mieux cerner les champs des attributions des uns et des autres.

Effect of Pulp Pigmentation Intensity on Consumer Acceptance of New Blood Mandarins: A Cross-Cultural Study in Spain and Italy

2022

One of the current objectives of different citrus breeding programmes is obtaining new pigmented mandarins. This study investigates to what extent consumer preferences, expectations and purchase intention are affected by the appearance of new mandarins, specifically pulp pigmentation intensity. Four hundred consumers from both Italy and Spain (800 in all) participated in the study. In each country, half were informed about the healthy properties of the anthocyanins responsible for red pulp colouration, while the other half were not. Italians more readily accepted new mandarin varieties than Spaniards, which was linked to them being more familiar with blood oranges. In Italy, both slight- an…

A TOPOLOGICAL STUDY OF PLANAR VECTOR FIELD SINGULARITIES A tribute to Ivar Bendixson

2019

In this paper one extends results of Bendixson [B] and Dumortier [D] about the germs of vector fields with an isolated singularity at the origin of IR 2 , not accumulated by periodic orbits. As new tool, one introduces minimal curves, which are curves surrounding the origin, with a minimal number of contact points with the vector field. Moreover, the arguments are essentially topological, with no use of a desingularization theory, as it is the case in [D]. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification : 34C05, 34A26.

Effect of Mycoplasma agalactiae mastitis on milk production and composition in Valle dell Belice dairy sheep

2019

Contagious agalactia (CA), a disease caused by Mycoplasma agalactiae and other pathogenic mycoplasmas, is a well-known multietiological syndrome affecting dairy breeds of sheep and goats in the Mediterranean basin. The aim of this work was to study the effect on milk production and composition of mastitis caused by M. agalactiae in Valle del Belice dairy sheep. All ewes were manually milked twice daily and the milk from both daily milking was analysed for milk composition and somatic cell counts. Moreover the morning milk samples were collected aseptically from each animal for bacteriological analyses. A mixed linear model was utilised to consider milk production and composition between ani…

Koriģētais redzes asums, kontrastjutība un aberācijas keratokonusa pacientiem atkarībā no virsotnes atrašanās vietas

2018

Promocijas darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 29 lappusēm. Tajā ir 17 attēli, 2 tabulas un 26 atsauces. Mērķis. Novērtēt keratokonusa virsotnes radītās izmaiņas redzes asumā, kontrastjutībā un aberācijās. Metode. Noteikts redzes asums un kontrastjutība piecās dažādās frekvencēs ar FrACT programmu, lietojot briļļu un kontaktlēcu korekciju. Noteikts zīlītes diametra mērījums un topogrāfiskā karte ar Keratronu un Optikon. Rezultāti. Salīdzinot pacientus ar keratokonusa virsotni centrā un perifērijā, redzes asums ir statistiski nozīmīgi lielāks pacientiem ar keratokonusa virsotni centrā ar alfa=10% līmeni. Kontrastjutība ir statistiski nozīmīgi atšķirīga pacientiem, kuri lieto brilles un cietā…

Em direção a uma perspectiva integradora da teoria de grupos estratégicos: validade convergente e importância da definição de grupo estratégico

2011

Una revisión de la literatura sobre grupos estratégicos evidencia, en primer lugar, una diversidad significativa de perspectivas de análisis, entre las que destacan el enfoque del posicionamiento estratégico, el de recursos y capacidades y la psicología cognitiva. En segundo lugar, revela la existencia tanto de definiciones alternativas de grupo estratégico, como de conceptos en cierto modo concurrentes (grupo cognitivo, grupo competitivo, grupo de interacción competitiva). Por último, lleva a concluir a los autores que todavía no existe una base teórica suficientemente sólida que permita fundamentar el propio concepto de grupo estratégico, así como su valor predictivo de las diferencias en…

Practical applications of naturalistic inquiry in intercultural education

2021

In recent years, the field of intercultural communication has seen a remarkable shift characterized by a growth in publications that distance themselves from the traditional, essentialist understanding of culture. In research, this shift is reflected in approaches that appreciate culture-in-action instead of taking culture for granted as a stable entity that pre-exists social interaction and predicts as well as explains human behavior. However, despite attempts to introduce differentiated views on culture and interculturality in education, concrete options for critical intercultural training are scarce and often remain abstract, which makes their application challenging. This article argues…
